All around college now we hear the
refugees from the war zone telling their
experiences. Dagmar Perkins was
caught in Interlaken when war was de-
lared. For ten days they could get
very little money and practically no
news. They finally got to Geneva and
from there took the American train to
Paris. All along the wav between Gen-
�va and Paris trainload after trainload of
wounded soldier* passed close by
ihcir train. Some- were only sligiitly
wounded, and these were anxious to get
back to the front. Crowds were at each
.tation where they stopped; old men.
women and children, and also soldiers
ho wen waiting to go to the front.
She reached Paris after being twenty-
ight.hours on the train. The day after
she reached Paris the Germans dropped
the first bombs there. Atala Scudder
and Ann Davis were there at the same
lime. These two left the next day. with
about two hundred other people by a
pecial train for Havre, where they were
left in the middle of the night. Some
French and English soldiers who were
�luartcred there cam" to their rescue with
teamcr chairs and rugs, and they spent
the rest of the night in the streets with
t^e soldiers keeping guard over them.
The next day the U. S. N. armored I -mi-
ser Tennessee took them from Havre to
Weymouth. The officers gave up their
quarters to some of them and the rest
slept on deck.
Lois G"odnow. Helen Chase. Molly
Boyd and Fredrika Kellogg were in Paris
when war was declared. They tried to
leave the next day. each one armed with
a large suit-case, while the rest of the
contents of their steamer trunks wei'e
stuffed into large flowered laundry bags,
�which were slung over their shoulders.
Thev were unsuccessful in their attempt
to leave, so they had to comply with
the regulations for staying in Paris.
PRESIDENT THOMAS* OPENING
SPEECH.
President Thomas made some particu-
lar suggestions for the new year before
her formal speech. She then welcomed
the Freshmen and announced that the
Class of 1H18 numbers 102. She said she
hoped to be with us all the year. She
will speak in chapel three times a week
On Friday she said she intends to talk
on literature. The subject will be an-
nounced a week ahead, so that an oppor
tunity will be given for people to make
up their minds a-- to their own opinions
about an author before he is discussed.
The President of the Undergraduate-
Association, Miss Adrienne Kcnyon. mi
called to the platform to present a check
for $26"0.41, the proceeds of May Day.
to the Bryn Mawr Kndowmcnt Fund.
President Thomas began her formal
address with a comparison between
President Wilson and President Lincoln
and by nraisim; President WilfoK I �' hit
counsels of wisdom, neutrality and mo1
eration. She found one gleam of he*�'
in the horror of the European war. It
was that all the colonies <> G eal Bril
ain are standing loyal bcc-ii-se of he
fairness in governing them The dc �"'�
tion of'the cathedral of Rheims, and t'�
realization that the fate of other mister
pieces depends upon the retreat or ad
vancc of armies made her sick at heart
If wars continue the future generation
will be robbed of all the beauties of the
French Rcnnaissance. she said. But
wars will not continue. This war tod*\
will no! only be called the most terrible
waa of MrtoQfi but also the last great
war. When war times are over for ever
when armament is replaced by arbitra
tion. vast snt s of money will be lef
for soeial benefits. Vice, disease, intent
pcrance and crowded prisons will pass
away. The complete emancipation ot
women will follow. This glorious future
calls for every Bryn Mawr girl to use
I er ot i ortunitics. The Freshmen of
this year have given serious reasons fir
choos:ng Brvn Mawr for their Alma Ma-
ter. One Freshman said she came to
Bryn Mawr because she heard "it wa
impossible to get around the rules of the
facultv." Pres:dent Thomas went on to
say that Freshmen classes always mail
her sentimental, for she could not hell-
thinking when she talked with them <>
all their hopes and of the loneliness and
sacrifice which their fathers and mothers
were often suffering to send them t"
Bryn Mawr. The Freshmen were ad
vised to start their college work with
habits of absolute regularity and punc
tuality. President Jordan, of Lelan'l
Stanford, once said that the way men
students keep their academic appoint
ments would lose them any position in
the world. The years of intellectual en-
joyment are Fmited only by the tomb
President Thomas, concluded, and ad
vised all the undergraduates to lay, now
the foundations for these ioys and fir
the greatest joy in life, that of bring able
to do well whatever one does.
